Got back on the water yesterday with my friend Dale-havent been to DV since May or Jun cant remember, it was a awesome morning got there around 0700. Had to get the rig inspected and Husker Rod shows up with his rig and we chatted about the game plan for the day. Luis at the inspection site gave us some 411 too thanks Luis!.
Nice to see the water levels rising, we motored off to the west side to make some runs near the saddle and intake area. Seen alot of bait, and the boils are just explosive. We got slammed on the umbrella rig around 25-30 feet dwn using Kalins shad bodies 4-inch I think and dropped/stacked some Big Hammers (White) down on the DR. We got slammage near the intake around outside of the orange buoy lines, farmed the fish though we were bummed cause the strike was a freight train. We chucked our topwater on the numerous boils but no joy.
After the striper attempt we went for some kitties, had some whole mack so we settled down in Rawson area 40' and threw a couple of chunks on some 6/0 octopus hooks. Within 15 mins I get the first run, and a "GDHKSET" followed by Zzzzzzzz, she took me in some trees and I had to break off:(. Dale had a good run missed the set. We were on again 30 min later but we boated these, Not sure what the weight was, but I shared some of the fillets with our neighbors. Though we did not have the numbers ti was nice to get out at DV, meet other FNN folks, and enjoy the excellent weather with friends. Water temp in the am was 71, we left at 3pm and it was 74.
Get off the couch and go to DV! Good luck FNN and go kill-em.
